The promised docking station for the Steam Deck will arrive even later than expected, Valve said in a blog post Thursday. The $399 handheld gaming PC debuted in February, but the separately sold docking station wasn’t available at launch. 

Now, the docking station is being further delayed thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and a parts shortage, Valve said. The company didn’t set an expected release date.

Steam Deck has no built in kick stand, either, so some have taken to making their own.

More to come.
